There’s no denying that getting to a bowl game isn’t what it used to be. Going to a bowl game used to be the pinnacle of a college football season. There was the Rose Bowl, the Blue Bonnet Bowl, the Liberty Bowl, etc. Now, there’s the Meineke Car Care Bowl, the Cheeze-It Bowl, the Duluth Trading Company Fireman Work Pants Bowl, and honestly I have no idea if any of those are real but they seem real don’t they? And therein lies the problem. There are too many bowl games with too little meaning. So it’s no surprise that players, who could make millions in the next few years, are opting out of a meaningless bowl game that has no bearing on basically anything.
Are Opt Outs Killing Bowl Season?
